Higher Snowfall Intensity is Associated with Reduced Impacts of Warming Upon Winter Snow Ablation

Abstract Warming temperatures are altering winter snowpack accumulation and ablation. Physically based snowpack simulations have indicated that increasing precipitation intensity may buffer the impacts of warming on annual maximum snow water equivalents. Here, we assess this relationship using an ob...
